Several of Trump's nominees to federal courts demonstrate anti-abortion beliefs and associations with anti-abortion groups. They have defended state abortion restrictions and engaged in significant court cases affecting medication abortion access. Despite Trump's fluctuating statements on abortion policy, the lifetime appointments of these judges could reverse abortion rights after his presidency. Some nominees expressed extreme views on abortion, with one referring to the practice as 'barbaric' and another supporting claims about the abortion pill that are factually incorrect.
One nominee from Tennessee said, 'this is the only medical procedure that terminates a life,' showcasing a strong anti-abortion perspective.
A nominee from Missouri spread misinformation about medication abortion, claiming it 'starves the baby to death in the womb' while challenging the FDA's approval of mifepristone.
